Join us the 4th Sunday each month for shared learning, discussion, and self-reflection to further our social and racial justice work. Our first book is So You Want to Talk about Race by Ijeoma Oluo, and all it takes to participate is to get the book and begin! On March 28 we’ll discuss Chapters 1-7, with no judgement for how far you get — what’s most important is that we’re taking this journey as a community.
All book club events are free — Register here for the zoom link.
Buy the book through a location listed in publisher’s site, or check out your local library’s Hoopla app for free audiobook loans!
So You Want to Talk about Race by Ijeoma Oluo

“Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy — from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans — has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair — and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?
In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to “model minorities” in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.”
